Under the new policies, flight attendants of all genders can now wear nail polish and “natural-looking” makeup, as well as have visible tattoos—provided they are the size of the employee's work badge or smaller. Previously, male-identifying employees were not allowed to wear any kind of makeup or colored nail polish. Additionally, male-identifying flight attendants are now permitted to have long hair—whereas, before, their hair couldn't pass their shirt collar even if it was pulled back.
“It’s kind of exciting to feel represented and celebrated in a way that I’ve been outside of work for a long time,” says Ryan Briggs, a United Airlines flight attendant who identifies as non-binary. Briggs says they routinely paint their nails and use makeup outside of work, but they previously couldn't take those forms of self-expression on board planes. “Now I can kind of take that into everything that I do instead of [only] being authentic outside of work,” they say.
Well, crap. I'm an old guy, but I was served a drink by a male flight attendant who wore nail polish and makeup, I might not be able to get to the barf bag fast enough.
United does have the most aged group of flight attendants from observation. I am currently Gold with them but after I lose my status end of year ill probably start flying American as they are not racist, and do not have hiring policies of pilots based on race over qualifications.

Nature gave us two genders for a reason.
Yeah, next thing you know they'll start letting the female flight attendants wear pants!!!!!!
If you want to make it to point B, you might want to think twice before hopping on a plane being flown by an affirmative action hire.
There are no "reduced qualifications" to becoming a pilot, regardless of skin color.
So, no, I don't need to think twice.
